What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can manage LMS functions, design data-driven learning, and implement multimedia instruction within collaborative, growth-oriented L&D teams.

I am an instructional designer with experience managing enterprise learning systems and creating engaging digital learning assets that align with organizational goals.

I lead LMS administration, analyze learner data to identify performance trends, and design targeted solutions using ADDIE and adult learning principles. I develop multimedia content with Camtasia and Articulate 360 and deliver both ILT and VILT sessions.

I evaluate course effectiveness through assessments and feedback, recommend emerging technologies to improve learning outcomes, and support leadership with custom reporting and strategic instructional recommendations.
